Superior performance, scalability, and high availability : Cisco UCS computing and storage
servers deliver performance and simplicity at scale. The unified architecture allows you to easily add computing and storage resources as demand increases without additional supporting infrastructure or expert knowledge. The system’s high-density design increases the number of virtual servers that can run on each physical host, saving on capital, operational, physical space, and licensing costs. Support for large amounts of high-speed memory per server lets you host more cloud applications using less-expensive servers without sacrificing performance or availability.

Centralized infrastructure management: Cisco UCS servers and Nexus switches are managed
through the embedded Cisco UCS Manager, which can control multiple chassis and administer
resources for thousands of virtual machines. Policy- and model-based management together with
automatic deployment and provisioning of system components streamlines infrastructure administration. Open application program interfaces (APIs) let you customize and use third-party tools within your cloud infrastructure.
